Surnames: Ackerman Submitted by: Origin of Ackerman, Meaning of Ackerman Origin: Acker is german for "Field", so in the tradition of medieval europe where one's family surname was a description of the bread winners occupation (i.e. Smith, Oeber, Wienstien, et al), the term "Ackermann" describes the field workers of the germanic regions of europe (i.e. Austria, Bavaria, Germany, Switzerland, Swedan, Prussia, et al). As there were many people working in the fields of that time, "Ackermann" is a common name. The name "Ackerman", is just an americanization of that Germanic name. Many people chose to change it to that during the early part of the 20 century due to the world wars and Germany;s negative invovlement. My grandfather(1893) was an Ackermann, but my father is an Ackerman (1929 single n). Surnames: Ackerman Submitted by: Allen Ackerman 11/21/2008 6:51 PM Page 1 of 1
